Sketch qualitatively accurate graphs of G vs. P for the three phases of H20 (ice, water, and steam) at 0°C. Put all three graphs on the same set of axes, and label the point corresponding to atmospheric pressure. How would |the graphs differ at slightly higher temperatures?

Short Answer

Expert verified

As the temperature rises above 0°C, the ice curve shifts to the left of the steam curve.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

From the thermodynamic potential from the Gibbs free energy at constant temperature, we have

∂G∂PT,N=V

Where,

P is pressure

V is volume

We will use the above equation to draw the graph with slope ∂G∂P.

02

Explanation 

The graph below represents the three phases of H2O at 0 degree temperature.

The ice graph is steeper than the water graph in this instance. The slope of steam is steeper than the graphs of ice and water. The compressibility of steam is greater than that of ice and water. As a result, it has a downward curvature, as indicated in the diagram above.

03

Explanation 

Gibbs free energy's temperature dependency is given as

∂G∂TP.N=-S

Where,

G id Gibbs free energy

T is temperature

S is entropy of system

Using the preceding equation, the Gibbs free energy of H2O will decreases during each phase. The steam phase of H2O has a higher entropy than the water and ice phases. As a result, Gibbs free energy decreases more in the steam phase and less in the ice phase.

As the temperature rises above 0°C, the ice curve shifts to the left of the steam curve, as seen in the diagram.

The formula for Cp-Cv derived in the previous problem can also be derived starting with the definitions of these quantities in terms of U and H. Do so. Most of the derivation is very similar, but at one point you need to use the relation P=-(∂F/∂V)T.

If expression 5.68 is correct, it must be extensive: Increasing both NA and NB by a common factor while holding all intensive variables fixed should increase G by the same factor. Show that expression 5.68 has this property. Show that it would not have this property had we not added the term proportional to In NA!.

Use the data at the back of this book to calculate the slope of the calcite-aragonite phase boundary (at 298 K). You located one point on this phase boundary in Problem 5.28; use this information to sketch the phase diagram of calcium carbonate.

When carbon dioxide "dissolves" in water, essentially all of it reacts to form carbonic acid, H2CO3:

CO2(g)+H2O(l)⟷H2CO3(aq)

The carbonic acid can then dissociate into H* and bicarbonate ions,

H2CO3(aq)⟷H+(aq)+HCO3-(aq)

(The table at the back of this book gives thermodynamic data for both of these reactions.) Consider a body of otherwise pure water (or perhaps a raindrop) that is in equilibrium with the atmosphere near sea level, where the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is 3.4 x 10-4 bar (or 340 parts per million). Calculate the molality of carbonic acid and of bicarbonate ions in the water, and determine the pH of the solution. Note that even "natural" precipitation is somewhat acidic.

Derive the van't Hoff equation,

dlnKdT=ΔH°RT2

which gives the dependence of the equilibrium constant on temperature." Here ∆H°is the enthalpy change of the reaction, for pure substances in their standard states (1 bar pressure for gases). Notice that if ∆H°is positive (loosely speaking, if the reaction requires the absorption of heat), then higher temperature makes the reaction tend more to the right, as you might expect. Often you can neglect the temperature dependence of∆H°; solve the equation in this case to obtain

lnKT2-lnKT1=ΔH°R1T1-1T2
